You are beachfront at the best part of the island, within walking distance to everything you need so you don't even need a car for your stay.
It’s all here. Championship golf. World-class tennis. Sportfishing. These are the biggies that bring in thousands of visitors each year for tournaments both professional and amateur. You can golf on two of the finest courses in the world from the Sea Pines Resort (Harbour Town Links and Heron Point). As for tennis, Hilton Head boasts 360 courts, though many of them are private. You can’t go wrong at the Van DerMeer Tennis Center with its indoor and outdoor courts and teaching professionals available year-round.
Fishermen love Hilton Head for its vast fishing opportunities from drop line, deep-sea, sport fishing, surf fishing on the beach, and even fly fishing in the marshes. Fishing boats leave from several locations around the island and charter boats are plentiful. If you only like watching sea life, rather than fishing it, you can take a dolphin excursion to view the dolphin who visit the waters of Hilton Head year around. Sailboats can be chartered or rented to capable sailors. Like to waterski? Take out a ski boat for an afternoon.
If you’re not into one of the big three mentioned above, never fear. Hilton Head is a veritable playground for active people. Explore the waterways and inlets around Hilton Head in a kayak; take to the sky in a parasail; rent a jet ski to skim across the sound; paddle board, surf, or swim.
Cut throughout the island are walking and biking trails connecting beaches to the island center, through woods, marshland, and housing plantations. You can rent bicycles at several locations throughout the island, or if you like the feel of the earth beneath your feet, rent inline or roller skates.
In 2012, ZipLine Hilton Head opened its first course, taking visitors on a two-hour zipline experience with eight lines over and through trees, across waterways, and above the canopy.
